Thank you awesome Thinkers for all your support these past six years! To show our gratitude, we are launching ThinkMOBILE: The Thinklab Discovery Caravan. We will go around the Philippines to bring free workshops, seminars and cool activities to your schools! Thinklab has planned one day of discovery and adventure on Engineering, Science and Robotics, and will travel to at least one lucky school per week.

What are you waiting for? Contact your teachers, org officers and/or school administrators and have them to sign up below. We will contact them shortly to schedule the date and discuss other details.

Be one of our very first destinations. Together let’s Learn, Create and Innovate.

Thinklab is happy to collaborate with PRIMES Learning Company and came up with an amazing tool that helps introduce highschool students to the wonderful world of robotics. Students will get the best foundation in basic electronics, programming and microcontrollers so later on, they can create their own robotics projects. A basic robotics kit can also be purchased along with the workbook for fun hands on activities and exercises.

Learn, create, invent and innovate. Have an awesome learning experience with Thinklab!

Contact Thinklab or email PRIMES at mishel.larracas@primes.com.ph for more info.

We will be featuring some of the people we met during our workshops especially those who have been thinking of ways on how to use the knowledge they acquired during our workshops in their everyday lives.

These are the people who have been inspired by ThinkLab to INNOVATE!

For those who have attended our workshops, you may also create your own videos and articles and send your links to us.

Please fill up this form >> SAY HI!and send your links in the message box.

We hope to feature more THINKERS in our blog.

Have an INNOVATIVE day everyone!

This is Ringo Dingrando, a Physics and Robotics Instructor from International School Manila. He attended one of our workshops last January 2013. Today he sent us a link of his video of one of his projects using Gizduino. Thank you Ringo and we hope to see your energetic and ecstatic video posts of your projects soon!

“ The workshop was great all in all. I learned a lot of things related to programming and not only did I enjoyed the whole process of it, it made me want to learn more since the lecturers are so out-going and very accommodating.”

~ Ms. Elan Gener – member of Colegio de San Juan de
Letran Calamba Robotics Team

Silver Medalist at International Robotics Olympiad 2013 at Denver Colorado

“To the instructors and faci… good job.. hindi man lang ako inantok sa buong duration ng workshop… madami akong natutunan and you made it easy for us to understand the topic.. more power and God bless…”

The seminar entitled Robotics and the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Community helped the Mapuans to think on what they can do as Computer Engineers that can help our community. Arduino and the DIY Community makes it possible for Computer Engineers and even non-engineers to be creative and invent or innovate products especially in the field of Robotics that will be useful in our daily lives.

The ThinkLab team is preparing for the TAGISANG ROBOTICS COMPETITION 2013 : GAME REVEAL that will happen on AUGUST 28, 2013, WEDNESDAY at the NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS, UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES – DILIMAN, just a stone’s throw from our office. ** This is partial and unofficial, please wait for the OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM DOST

For the teams who are joining the competition, are you ready with your AWESOME CHEERS? I hope your ready, cause we’ll be watching you guys!
